The latest ProAc floor standing design, the new Response DT8, incorporates production parts from the chassis through to the magnet system, spider and voice coil that are painstakingly selected from materials that excel in their particular frequency range.

Utilising 2 x 6.5 inch drivers, the pulp mica cone unit delivers exceptional bass performance in a ported cabinet with the bass loaded via side vents and the polypropylene unit gives a smooth, detailed and uncoloured midrange. Both drivers work in tandem resulting in a well extended low frequency response and ProAc's signature natural sounding midrange quality and pinpoint imagery.

These frequency ranges are then cleverly overlapped by a new, Stewart Tyler designed, crossover which seamlessly integrates ProAc's proven 1 inch soft dome tweeter, offset on the front baffle, and placed between the 2 drivers. Some manufacturers frequently use the same drive unit cone material in each of the models in their range. ProAc has taken a different approach and has previously used carbon fibre, kevlar, pulp and polypropylene. However this is the first time they have used two different types of unit in a two-way design.

The new Response DT8 now takes its place in the ProAc range as the entry level floor standing design.
